Double Height Foyer Crystal Pendant Custom Glass Fixture Atrium Lighting Project

Not every double height foyer suits a waterfall, and this custom glass fixture is the answer for architects who want the effect without the standard silhouette. We work from the section drawing and the architect's intent rather than from a catalogue form: the canopy can be square, linear, curved or composed of several separate elements, and the glass strands can be arranged as a curtain, a dense block, a mirrored pair or a scattered field. Because the design is drawing based, the fixture can be detailed to miss beams, sprinkler runs, beam detectors and air terminals without appearing compromised. Structural load is calculated per canopy and supplied as a package for the engineer of record, and the electrical design reports to a single point so the contractor has one circuit to terminate rather than several.

• Drawing Based Configuration: Canopy shape and strand arrangement follow the architect's section rather than a catalogue form, producing a fixture designed for the space instead of adapted to it
• Obstruction Integration: Canopy geometry is detailed around beams, sprinkler runs, beam detectors and air terminals so services stay compliant without the fixture appearing compromised
• Per Canopy Load Package: Structural load is calculated and supplied per canopy for the engineer of record, removing the guesswork that stalls approvals on custom lighting
• Single Point Electrical: The whole installation reports to one driver and terminal location, giving the contractor a single circuit to terminate and commission
• Multiple Arrangement Types: Curtain, dense block, mirrored pair and scattered field arrangements use the same strand components, allowing one system across several spaces in a building
• Mock Up Availability: A partial canopy mock up can be produced for design review before the full order, letting architects confirm density and drop on site

Used in hotel foyers, corporate headquarters, cultural buildings and flagship retail atriums where the lighting is part of the architectural concept. The custom geometry also suits double height residential voids, showrooms and transport hub concourses where standard fixtures would clash with structural or services constraints. Architects specifying a building wide scheme use one strand system in several arrangements to keep consistency from the lobby through to lift lobbies and feature spaces.

The process starts with architectural sections, ceiling plans and the services layout. We return a canopy layout, strand schedule, load package and single line electrical drawing, then produce a mock up section if required. Custom options include curved and faceted canopies, two tone finishes, RAL matched colours, champagne or amber crystal, DMX controlled zones, and phased delivery aligned to construction stages.

Canopies ship in foam lined crates sized to the section dimensions, with strand bundles labelled by zone and position on rigid formers. Load and lifting data is stencilled on each crate, and a drawing set travels in a document tube inside the first crate. Site storage guidance covers protection of plated surfaces before the ceiling is closed.

Lead time is 30 to 45 days after drawing approval depending on canopy complexity, with staged delivery for phased projects. A three percent strand allowance is included, mock up sections are quoted separately and deducted from the final order, and rigging consultation is available before installation. Production files are retained for five years to support extensions and refurbishment.
